What is Buddy Punch?

Buddy Punch was built out of a need for a simple, easy to use, and affordable scheduling and time card solution. We can't use paper forever - and time shouldn't be kept in excel spreadsheets or handwritten/faxed time cards.

Key benefits of using Buddy Punch

Simplicity. We've tested our app with real users and they required no training to be effective. Error handling is built in - we're human and we all make mistakes, our app helps your employees fix them and automatically notifies you. Not only is the app intuitive but security is a top priority. Not only is your information encrypted but if your computer has a webcam it can be used to take snapshots of each punch, to verify that your employees are actually there and doing the punching.

Buddy Punch can be used on any internet connected device. We're a web based solution, nothing to download, install, or update.

Pros
That is one of the things I think are most important- the great customer serivce. The accessibility to actual people can help is valuable.
I love the facial recognition feature and other features that are offered to ensure that your staff is on the job site in order to sign in.
BEST of all, when I have a question, Buddy Punch really LISTENS and always walks me through the answer or offers to help themselves.
Cons
There were times where it was buggy and screens would get stuck so that you had to reopen the map and follow a specific procedure to avoid the issue from occurring again.
It is hard to correct if you did the wrong punch in or out.
The only issue we've encountered is adding or editing times. If somebody forgets their punch it can cause some struggle.

Great Time Clock System

Reviewed 5 years ago

Buddy Punch is a great product that has allowed us to better track our technicians hours. They are on the road 3-4 days a week and Buddy Punch helps us know where they are when they punch in/out and whether they are staying on schedule. It's a great product at a great value!

Pros

The software is a good value, easy to use, and the support team is very receptive to suggested changes or add-ons. We've seen several suggestions become a reality which is uncommon when dealing with other software companies.

Cons

The app isn't the best, but we do ask for it to do a lot. From GPS tracking to facial recognition; there are good features, but with phone updates, the app has a tendency to lock up.

Vendor response

Thanks Jake fore the review, I'm happy to hear that you're finding us easy to use as well as a good value. We build features based on feedback from our users, it is great to hear that you're enjoying some of our recent updates! Also thanks for the feedback on the mobile app, it supports geofences, gps coordinates, facial recognition and QR codes. Thanks again.

Buddy Punch Review

Reviewed 2 months ago

I get to track my attendance with it so it saves me time to do the tracking myself, thus helps me be more productive at work.

Pros

It is user friendly. I am new to the company and new to using Buddy Punch and it was easy to use as a beginner. I have never encountered any problems with it as well.

Cons

None. So far Buddy Punch is giving me the service that I need especially for timekeeping

Vendor response

Thank you Kayelee for the review, it is great to hear that you are finding us user friendly!

As an owner, I don't have any problems with Buddy Punch, but my employees have several problems.

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

It makes it easy for me to view and edit time cards as needed. I also like how I can create different categories for employees to clock in under.

Cons

My employees have a terrible time with Buddy Punch. The app does not work on a couple of their phones. When they do punch in on the computer, the buttons don't function like they're supposed to. For instance, they try to punch in and edit time, but it just punches them in and doesn't allow them to edit their time. It has also automatically punched an employee out five minutes after punching in (they did not punch out).

Vendor response

Hello Sean, I'm glad that we've been easy for you to use. I'm sorry to hear that your employees are having problems but thank you for the feedback. We have 2 features that will automatically punch an employee out. We can split shifts at midnight, which keeps time within each day, and we have a maximum hour in a shift. This will automatically punch an employee out as well. Sorry for any confusion on these features. We appreciate your business.

Excellent Customer Service

Reviewed 2 months ago
Pros

Timekeeping capability on a very timely manner without any interruptions causing conflict to any degree.

Cons

Sometimes the Buddy Punch will allow other people into their timekeeping issues without any security reasons but it has only happened once or twice...

Vendor response

Thank you Karrell for the review, we appreciate the kind words about our customer service!
